Argentina isn’t just about fabulous sea trout fishing. This combination itinerary pairs casting dry flies to wild trout in Patagonia with sight-fishing for powerful golden dorado on the Upper Paraná, allowing anglers to experience two completely different sides of Argentina in one fishing adventure.

You start your adventure with four days on Patagonia’s legenedary trout waters staying at Chime Lodge. Float the Chimehuín and Collón Curá, wade pristine streams, and explore trophy lakes in pursuit of wild brown and rainbow trout. Classic dry-fly fishing, exciting streamer action, and new waters to discover every day.

Then there’s a day and night In Buenos Aires, one of South America’s most vibrant cities. Explore its lively neighborhoods, enjoy its renowned restaurants, and experience Argentina’s famous cuisine and wines before heading north for the next chapter of your fishing adventure.

From here you head north to Suindá Lodge and trade Patagonia’s mountain rives for the clear, powerful waters of the Paraná. Sight-cast to big golden dorado on shallow sandbanks, work streamers along jungle-lined shores, and experience explosive strikes in one of South America’s most exciting freshwater fisheries.

Over nine nights you enjoy six days of guided fishing and two very different experiences. If you’re looking for something a bit different, we can’t think of anything better.

PS – If you want to extend your time around Buenos Aires then you could easily add Delta Lodge to the itinerary. Just outside Buenos Aires, the Paraná Delta offers excellent fishing for golden dorado, tararira, and other native species among winding channels and lush islands.
